Tinned Copper Cables

Copper cable is an electrical conductor made from copper, known for high conductivity, durability, and reliability in automotive and industrial systems.

Copper offers excellent conductivity and low resistance, which ensures high-quality signal transmission for audio-visual systems.

Its conductivity, flexibility and durability make copper the preferred choice for reliable power and data transmission.

The copper content varies, but coaxial cables typically include a central copper conductor and copper shielding, making up 30–60% of the cable mass.

Current rating depends on cross-sectional area, insulation type, ambient temperature, and installation method. Industry tables (e.g. IEC or BS standards) are used to determine safe values.

Electrical signals travel via the copper conductor, with insulation preventing loss and shielding reducing electromagnetic interference.

When correctly installed, copper cables can last decades. Longevity depends on insulation quality, environment, and mechanical stress.

Typically up to 240–260 amps, but this depends on duty cycle, installation method, and ambient conditions. Always check manufacturer ratings.

Risks include electric shock, overheating due to undersized cables, and mechanical injury during installation. Proper PPE and compliance with standards are essential.
